UFO

I just spotted this floating in the sunset - by the time I'd got my camera out it was against darker clouds. I don't have a long enough lens to really get close to things this small / far away. I assume it was a balloon - it was moving quickly in the wind.Flicker enlarged it to this for the thumbnail view:And I had a go at enlarging and enhancing it in Painter IX and got this:

Perhaps even more amazing than this odd object is that this is my 3rd posting today!

I think it may have been a ballon in the shape of a cat - what do you think it was?

there was a guy on the radio earlier, his job was head of HM UFO SIGHTINGS CORROBERATIONS OFFICE (or something like that). he said he didn't ask for the job at the start as he was very sceptical but after doing it for years he started to believe in the possibility of alien contact.

GG - you see a sea turtle - that's turtly strange. I've met people who have sworn they've seen UFOs and its changed their lives. And I know you never know, but as I haven't seen one (except in dream), and my philosophy is to just go by what I experience and not believe things I'll wait until it happens to me.

JN - aha - it was flying at quick a pace - I wonder where it was going - if you'd like to play it with just do!

Anonymous - what is hellcat doing flying over Bristol?

Tinker - the tail is just tucked backwards in an odd perspective! Have you blogged about your UFO?

MV - which would explain why all my dishes and spoons have fun away

Isay - I think you might be a bit disappointed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster site..

Caroline, I've gone to the BBC PM webpage but there's only some listeners' emails on the subject.

But I did find this interview with Nick Pope which claims to be a recording of the piece on last friday's PM. Unfortunately, I can't play it here at work so have no way of verifying its truth or quality. ;o)

Nick Pope was working many years for the MoD as head of UFO sightings and analysis.
